mot at the residence Of their Boss,

present, one of the number, C@scr

Bayly Browne, of Accomac %nd
Judge w. II. Fi,chett, of North
ampton responded to the call ofthe
Boss from the Eastern Shore. All
ter an Informal meeting, prolonged
until after midnight TO enable the
henclmeu OF the Boss, we presume,
through tlStended stOmachS and
Dlearetl visions to arrive at aWopcr
appreciation Of the magnitude OF
the Outcast, the latter half OF the
night "was devoted 10 the reading
and discussion of an address to the
Republicans of Virginia. embody-
ing the platform of principles OF
the party in reference 10 the State
debt and other political Issues. AN
address was prepared by Tic Boss,
but if it was submitted to the dele
gates, they either had not accord
ing to latest advices, recovered
sufficiently from their midnight
potaticnS 10 give resume OF ITS
points. or the Boss had bound them

though, in some way, that the adj
dress "favors The payment OF prln
cipal aud interest oil! what shall he
ascertained to be the true indebted
ness Of the State, aud claims that
with a majority in the Legislature
the debt can be settled in twenty
four hours"
Ever, thing dohe at the meeting
was evidently inspired by the Boss
and his mandates, OF course, are to
be obeyed without murmur, By
his hencbmen. The necessity Tor
it must be sought on other grounds
and can DO explained, first by Il
desire on the part Of The Outcast
to re.asSnre himself that his lieu

readyto dohiS biddingand secondly
to secure their approval of his
demagogical illusions on the State
debt question with the view OF So

tie promises which the Boss makes
in regard &c the State debt when
he, after long lease OF power with

ROANOKE, Va, Aug. 4.-Prompt
IL at noon Hon. John S. Barbour,
Chairman of the Stale Executive
and Central Committees, walked to
the front of The stage of the Oper;.
House here and called the State
Democratic Convention to ORDER
Mr.. Barbour's presence called forth
loud and hearty applause from the
delegates. There were over GU
delegates on the floor of the con-
ventlon when that body wis called
to order. MIR. Barbour III calling
the convention 10 order explained
at some length why il was consld-
cred necessary to call convention
this year. The reasons were that

party they should be settled IN par
IN CONVENTION. These differences,
bic Thought, 1t would be much bet
ter ~ discover before than alter
the election. Mr.. Barbour pointed
out the result Of the failure u have

WHOM the opposition Carried seven
out Of ten Congressional Districts
in the State.

mously carried.
Hon. john Goode, of Norfolk,

TILE PLATFORM.
The convention reassem blcd at 8
O'Clock and adopted the following
platform:
The Democratic party Of Virgin
ia, in convention assembled, con-
graduate the people upon the con-
tinued enjoy ment OF the blessings
Of good government, secured by the
restoration of Democratic admiDls
tralions, State and Federal. Again
invoking the popular verdict III its
behalf, we point with pride AMI
confidence to {, record of pledges
faithfully pei formed and TO the
guarantee of good government
which ii offers.
First. The wise, conservative,
fearless and honest administration
of Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States, deserves and
will receive the cordial support OF
the Democrats OF Virginia.
Second. We demand the imme
diate repeal ofthe internal revenue
system, relic OF the war, and no
longer necessary to meet the de-
mands OF the Government, because
it is oppressive, fosters monopolles
and is obnoxious to the interests OF
our people.
Third. We favor raising the
revenue requisite for the support
of the federal government by tar
iii upon imports limited to the ne
cessitles OF the government eco
nomically administered and SO adj
ministered and SO adjusted i'll its
application us TO prevent unequal
burdens, encourage productive in
terest AT home, the development Of
our material resources and afford
just compensation to labor, but not
to foster monopolies.
Fourth. We approve the action
Of the last General Assembly at its
extra session in 1887 in refusing to
accept the terms proposed by the
bondholders iu connection with a
settlement OF the public debt. The
Democratic party will never support
or sustain any adjustment Of the
debt which shall impose larger liza.
bilities upon this Commonwealth
than that recognized and provided
for by tue Riddleberger bill, and
we pledge the party to enact all
laws necessary to render said set.

WAYS OF MARRYING.

The inexpensive Elopement Compared With
the Full-Dress Church Wedding.
There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied, the attending expense of the diff.
ferent modes varying from 81 to 81 900.
The least expensive, and the one seldom
adopted, except in cases of elopement,
is that afforded by the Justices office.
There a couple can be firmly united in
the space of minute for small sum.
1t is customary for groom to dress as
he may please when the marriage is to
be performed by justice, and dress
suit would be sadly out of place in the
musty law-office. The one great advan-
tage of the justice-shop marriage is its
cheapness.
As some people object to being mar.
ried by justice of the peace, prefer
ring the sanction of the church in ad.
dition to that of the law, the young
people may visit parsonage instead Of
a Justices Office with the same prepare
ton. The ceremony may be fully as
informal when performed at the min.
ister's home, the only difference being
that not less than So, and, better still,
S. or $40 should be paid for the service,
although there is no fixed sum charged.
The most popular ceremony among peo-
pie who do not class themselves as in
society" and also among many who
do, is a quiet home wedding, where the
bride is attired in a suit of plain white
or travelling dress, and the groom in
plain black or brown business suit,
where only few friends or relatives
are present. The affair is informal,
perhaps modest supper or lunch being
served after the ceremony is performed,
and the entire expense to the groom
being covered by $40 or less. This is
the most popular wedding ceremony,
and this is the way in which fully twenty
five per cent. of the young people are
married.
Next in point of favor and inexpen.
siveness is the informal church wedding,
being similar in all things except that
the service is performed within the por-
tails of the church. If the affair is
strictly private the bride and groom
may be unsupported, or have brides
maids and groomsmen, as they please.
In the latter case full-dress suits should
be worn, increasing the expense The
''full-dress wedding" as it may be
called when the ceremony is performed
at home, is next in favor. Elaborate
trousseau, full-dress suits, bridesmaids
and groomsmen, flowers in abundance,
and host of invited guests are the
requisites, followed by reception,
feast, or lunch, as the contracting par
lies may desire.
The seventh and last, and most popu.
lar, is the full-dress affair performed in
church. Among people who desire to
create stir in society this is the favor
tie. 1t is expensive and in many cases
unsatisfactory. Brooklyn Aagazsux

Blue Catfish as Game.

All my life have taken great delight
in fishing, and have had the pleasure OF
landing many of the game fishes of our
waters. Among those which have
furnished the most sport is the blue OF
channel cat. Of all the fish that / ever
hooked it makes the hardest fight for its
life. 1t differs from them in that they,
when struck, leap out of the water and
rush through it with their mouths open,
thus making it much easier to conquer
and land them; while the catfish takes
the hook in its mouth and starts for the
bottom of the stream or lake with vim
that win test the tackle of the best
expert. l have had more real sport with
it than with any other fish / ever tackled
1t is full of fight from the strike to the
landing net, and requires longer t<

HOW TO JUDGE SHEEP.
Some of the Principal Points Giving ~

dence of Good Qualities.
Purity of blood is invaluable espd

black grounds, with narrow silk stripes
in light shades.
Steel embroidery, in combination with
Labrador blue velvet, is seen on many
of the new bonnets.
Striped silk and wooden goods are
seen in every shade. Very elegant
costumes are composed of them.
A new material for half-mourning
has black ground sprinkled with dots
of white, and stripes of black satin.
Musquash, brown-shaded fur, is to
